KERRY KATONA & ME

I spotted Kerry katona in Manchesters Trafford Center today she was in a Chineese Restaraunt with her Husband Mark Croft... She is one of my Favourite Celebritys, thank you Kerry Katona for having your picture taken with me :)

Kerry Jane Elizabeth Katona (born 6 September 1980) is an English media personality. She is most known for her television work (predominantly in television commercials and reality shows) and for being a magazine columnist. She has also acted, released several books (though these were ghostwritten on her behalf), and was also once a member of the pop girl group Atomic Kitten.

Early life

Katona was brought up partly by her mother Sue Katona and partly by her stepfather, foster grandmother and others. Her first known memory was of her mother's attempted suicide. When she was very young she was placed in care and brought up by four sets of foster parents. During that time, she went to eight different schools. She is one-quarter Hungarian. Katona left school with no qualifications at age 16 to become a lap dancer, then joined a dance troupe that toured Europe.[3] In 2001, nude 'open leg' photographs of her appeared in censored form in the UK tabloid newspaper The Sunday Sport.

Katona gained fame for being a member of the girl group Atomic Kitten. However she left in 2001 when she became pregnant.The group enjoyed limited success in the UK while she was a member, but had a major hit in South East Asia with Cradle. The group subsequently went on to have two number 1 albums in the UK with a new line-up. Katona herself later made light of the fact that she did not actually sing on any of Atomic Kitten's records, except for spoken parts, for example in the song Whole Again.

Television

After marrying Brian McFadden, she moved into television, appearing on and presenting a mix of light entertainment programmes such as Britain's Sexiest..., Loose Women, and Elimidate. In February 2004, Katona won the third British series of reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and in July of that year, Brian and Kerry appeared as a judge on the RTE talent show You're A Star, which was used to select Ireland's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest.

Katona has since starred in an Irish drama called Showbands. In July 2005, she headlined My Fair Kerry on ITV, where she was taught airs and graces to transform herself from ladette to lady. Despite the title of this programme, the conclusion she publicly drew from the programme was that "airs and graces don't mean nothing when you've got kids to look after."

Since 2007, Katona had been the subject of a number of MTV reality shows including Kerry Katona: Crazy in Love. Her latest MTV reality show, Kerry Katona: What's The Problem, began airing in May 2009.

Endorsements

Although her celebrity status has declined, Katona had a regular column in OK! Magazine until she was axed in 2008, has had the job of being the spokeswoman for Iceland frozen food stores in newspaper and television advertisements and has also been paid to promote Asda. She was represented by publicist Max Clifford, but their mutual parting was announced in October 2008 following Katona's appearance on This Morning. On 17 August 2009 supermarket Iceland sacked Katona from its advertising campaigns, saying it was "impossible" for her to continue in the role. The move follows allegations in the News Of The World that Katona was taking Class A drugs.

Charity

She is a patron of The Shannon Bradshaw Trust, a charity based in Warrington, helping children with life-threatening conditions, and their families.

Personal lifeBrian McFadden (2002–2006)

On 5 January, 2002 she married former Westlife star Brian McFadden at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathfeigh, County Meath, Ireland becoming Kerry McFadden. The couple had their honeymoon in Mauritius. Their two daughters are: Molly Marie McFadden (born 31 August, 2001, Dublin, Ireland); and Lilly-Sue McFadden, (born 3 February, 2003, Dublin, Ireland).

McFadden and Katona separated in September 2004 and Katona reverted to her maiden name. McFadden wrote a song on his solo album Irish Son called Be True To Your Woman about the failed relationship.

Mark Croft (2007–present)

Katona is now married to taxi driver Mark Croft. Katona and Croft were married at Gretna Green in Scotland on Wednesday, 14 February, 2007 in a private ceremony with 2 friends as witnesses. Six days later, on 20 February 2007, Katona's baby was delivered by Caesarean section. The girl, Heidi Elizabeth Croft, was born at Macclesfield G

Against all odds

Almost exactly six years ago, a 29-week premature baby girl weighing just 700 grams was born at a humble rural hospital in Limpopo Province. Even with the best neonatal intensive care in the country, Angel’s chances of survival would have been no more than 50/50. Yet today, Angel is happy and healthy – thanks to the care she received at Malamulele District Hospital. Through better training and innovative techniques the hospital has significantly reduced neonatal deaths in recent years, meaning that many more children like Angel will be celebrating their birthdays in the years to come.

Child development stages describe theoretical milestones of child development. Many stage models of development have been proposed, used as working concepts and in some cases asserted as nativist theories.

Your baby's second year is a wondrous and challenging experience for parents and child as your baby reaches out physically and emotionally for the world beyond mommy and daddy -- to friends, to toys, to sights, sounds, thoughts and words.

In these twelve months you will see your baby communicating, identifying, differentiating, recognizing and remembering.

Your baby will probably begin to walk alone, run and jump, play simple instructive games, imitate your actions, sing and dance to music, and increasingly demonstrate a desire to "do it myself."

By the end of this milestone year, your baby will show an expanding range of emotions and abiliy to express them, show off for an audience, probably talk several dozen words and be able to give as well as receive love.

Midwife Tackles Healthcare Problems

Afghanistan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, with an estimated 1,800 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. Access to reliable maternity and child healthcare is limited in the more remote parts of Afghanistan’s eastern region due to a lack of infrastructure, education, and professional services. The presence of a trained birth attendant can prevent many of the deaths. Together with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and service providers, USAID’s Alternative Development Program – East (ADP- E) has ad-dressed this situation by supporting midwifery training for women from the eastern region’s isolated Nooristan Province.Shah Bibi is one of 18 women selected by their home communities to take part in an 18-month course offered by the Ghanikhail Midwifery Training Center located in Nangarhar Province. During the MoPH and Jhpiego (an affiliate organization of Johns Hopkins University) certi-fied training, the women learned a range of both clinical and practical aspects of community midwifery, including antenatal, natal, and post-natal care. The students also learned to assist with normal births and provide health education to mothers and children during house visits and to know when to refer women with critical delivery conditions to provincial hospitals.After certification as a midwife, Shah Bibi began working at the Waigal Basic Health Center (BHC) in her native town of Waigal in Nooristan Province’s Waigal District. Traveling long distances into remote mountain villages by car and foot to provide maternal services and deliver babies in an area with a population of 12,000, Shah Bibi and her two colleagues at the center are in high demand.“Before we started working at the Waigal BHC, there were numerous cases of unsuccessful deliveries resulting in either mother or baby deaths,” Shah Bibi said. “During the seven months I have worked at the clinic, there were only two cases of unsuccessful deliveries.”In addition to long distances and the need for additional midwives in the area, Shah Bibi faces other challenges. Nooristan has always been insecure, with criminal and anti-government elements. In Waig-al’s neighboring Kamdesh District, US forces suffered heavy casual-ties from attacks on remote outposts. Despite this insecurity, Shah Bibi continues her work with an increased sense of determination.“Tribal elders have placed importance on my line of work,” she ex-plains. “As a result, the anti-government elements do not target me, and I am granted access to areas under their control in order to pro-vide maternity services to women who have no other access to basic healthcare.”

Looking after mothers and babies

Malnutrition, diarrhea and dehydration are particular concerns amongst young children and new mothers or mums-to-be, although thanks to the combined efforts of aid agencies, the international community and the Government of Haiti, there have no major outbreaks of disease so far.
